About the Studio

The Luxury of Being Understood

The most important tool Juliette van der Meijden and her team bring to a project is not a pen or a computer—it is the ability to listen to you, our client.

Curated by Juliette's work is a reflection of your lifestyle, combined with a carefully curated blend of European, South American and Californian sophistication.

Our Design Process is transparant and straightforward:

1. Discovery Call

2. Concept Development

3. Design & Deliverables

Designing for Longevity and Soul

At Curated by Design we see a home as a living environment that must respond to its climate and the health of those within it. Our approach is built on three pillars:

Bioclimatic Intelligence: Designing for coastal resilience and climate responsiveness.
Material Consistency: A commitment to healthy indoor environments and long-term material performance.
Cross-Scale Thinking: Seamlessly moving from the complexities of urban systems to the intimate, tactile details of a bespoke interior.

Kind Words

"I worked with Juliette when my husband and I purchased a small 1000 square foot townhouse in Berkeley, California. We live in Arizona and needed a partner on site to be able to help us with design and purchasing, as we did not know the area very much. Juliette listens very well. She listened to our budget, she listened to our preferences in terms of design and she also did a good job of nudging us to get out of our comfort zone - which was very much appreciated.

She has access to stores and design centers, which was very much appreciated because we wouldn’t have known those. Juliette used a program to work with us online that was user friendly and really clear. It was a clean way to do a design, make changes and receive those from another State. She also tracked and received our furniture. She had a lot of patience with us, with our shifting ideas at times. She worked hard to get things done in time for our arrival in Berkeley. We are very pleased with the design; it’s very different from our home here and that’s what we wanted. I can’t recommend her more, she is delightful, warm and very interesting. So it was a delight to work with her."

"Juliette was fantastic to work with. She sourced high quality furniture within my budget and gave me great design concepts to work with in other areas of the space. She quickly understood my needs and worked even more quickly to find solutions for the various parts of the project. I would recommend working with Juliette and having her bring your next space to life"
